This article is about the archaeological site and its associated 'Pucará culture' in the Puno Region, Peru. For other uses, see Pukara (disambiguation).
Pukara (Aymara and Quechua for fortress), often also found in the hispanicised spelling Pucará, is an archaeological site in the far southern highlands of Peru, dating mostly to the Early Intermediate Period (first centuries AD). The site has given its name to what some archaeologists refer to as a distinct 'Pucará culture' . The site is located to the north-west of Lake Titicaca in the Puno Region, Lampa Province, Pucará District.[1] The site was declared a National Cultural Heritage (Patrimonio Cultural) of Peru by the National Institute of Culture.[1]
